Render different component for ssr mode and client side

[peppescg]

Hi, I have a strange behavior. I want render a component in server side mode using user agent, but in client I want use media query, beacuse it is possible that bowser client is resized on a mobile width.
With js disabled it works well, but if it is enabled I have a warning in console

{  userAgent.desktop ?
        (
          <Media query="(min-width: 768px)" >
            {matches =>
              matches ? (
                <div>Desktop <LmProductDesktop data={data}/></div>
              ) : (
                <div>Mobile <LmProductMobile data={data}/></div>
              )
            }
          </Media>
        ) :
        (
          <Media query="(max-width: 767px)" >
             {matches =>
               matches ? (
                  <div>Mobile <LmProductMobile data={data}/></div>
               ) : (
                 <div>Desktop <LmProductDesktop data={data}/></div>
               )
             }
          </Media>
       )
 }

Now I am in desktop mode, so I rendered ssr desktop component, in the client with browser resized, I have the warning, in the dom elments I saw the correct css of mobile component, but the desktop component wrapped into media tag, the media mathched is setted to false and if I set true I saw the desktop component not the mobile.

Warning: Text content did not match. Server: "Desktop " Client: "Mobile "

Any ideas?

@peppescg I suggest you use the defaultMatches prop:

          <Media query="(min-width: 768px)" defaultMatches={userAgent.desktop}>
            {matches =>
              matches ? (
                <div>Desktop <LmProductDesktop data={data}/></div>
              ) : (
                <div>Mobile <LmProductMobile data={data}/></div>
              )
            }
          </Media>

With js disabled it works well, but if it is enabled I have a warning in console

I assume the warning you're getting is coming from React, warning you that there is a mismatch between the server-rendered markup and the initial client-side render. It is impossible to prevent the mismatch from ever occurring, since at SSR-time we cannot know with 100% certainty whether the media queries will match on the client. As you point out, you can have a "desktop" user agent, but have your browser window resized, such that it will match your "mobile" media query.

For what it's worth, we are discussing a two-pass rendering setup in #81, which should prevent the warnings from showing up.
